      <![CDATA[Money for Mayor Daley's Olmypics no problem. Just add another 1000 cameras at Chicago street intersections.Or just privatize another city service for 500 million.As Chicago is systematically sold off to the highest bidder.When will Chicago learn that this man only cares about power and money. How many more hired truck scandals do we need to determine our Mayor is a theif and a liar. I worked for the city of Chicago for 14 years at O'Hare airport.The corruption was overwhelming. From no bid work being done by Rossi contractors. To unqualified polictical cronies causing thousands of dollars in damage to federal property.The city is being destroyed.The reader is the only paper with the balls to take on King Daley.

      <![CDATA[We do not have the money for the Olympics. PERIOD
    We have serious infrastructure problem, and an even more serious CTA problem and generally mass transit  There is a pension problem, over budget on Millenium Park, over budget on Soldiers Field, over budget on CTA stops, and HIGH PROPERTY TAXES.
    We need to reign in SPENDING, stop CORRUPTION as much as we can, and stop or even reduce PROPERTY TAXES.
    The Olympics is a luxury we cannot afford.

      <![CDATA[Oh, but stop the presses!
    
    Daley says he won't be putting more money on the Olympics! Well, I guess it's all settled then. No problem. No reason to be concerned that the Olympics will turn into another Millenium Park.

      <![CDATA[We should have a one man one vote system.  Your math is a little off. Barack will win Chicago easy,unless there are some striking relevations. Where the Republicans will have to do well is Flordia and Ohio,to win. The Red States will have to surg,to counter the Black and liberal turnout. The bible thumbers will have to come out for MCCAIN. Also Mccain would have to peel off 10-15% of the Black religious vote,like bush did. Also Mccin only needs to win 15-20% of the anti-Daley vote in Chicago,and 40% of Illinois. Remember before we start tripping on number,we do not elect the president anyway. Its the Electoral college. We should have a one man one vote system.

Ask ANY reputable sports economist and they will point at data that shows the Olympics NEVER make money for the host city...in fact, should Chicago win the bid (and pray we DON'T) the economy will stagnate further...and the taxpayer will suffer somehow even more then they currently are....

      <![CDATA[Over Budget? What does that mean? Is it like a budget short fall? Let me see $320,000,000.00(thats three hundred and twenty million dollars) minus $213,000,000.00(thats two hundred and thirteen million dollars) = $107,000,000.00 (thats one hundred and seven million dollars). Who has to pay the difference?

      <![CDATA[The IOC will probably give Chicago the Olympics anyway, since most of its membership are petty tyrants in their own minds, and thus would have an affinity with Daley.  With luck though, by the time the Olympic Torch relay is held in 2016, the route can conveniently pass along the side of whatever federal prison Daley is incarcerated at.

      <![CDATA[There's no question of whether the money can be found. They have the power to tax, and they'll use it. I'm no Grover Norquist; I'm fine with using taxes to do worthwhile government stuff. But that's the rub.
    
    Using money in one way means that it won't be used for something else. There are a thousand things that need to be fixed, replaced, or improved before this Olympics bullshit even comes close to consideration. I notice that the CTA has been bolting the crumbling embankments up in Rogers Park. Those steel plates are just a stop-gap measure that holds off disaster for another couple of years. Meanwhile, gas is headed for $5 a gallon and beyond, and it takes years to get an elevated railway in shape. We need the El to carry everyone who will no longer be able to afford a car. Instead, Daley and his pals have their sights set on roads, stadiums, parking lots, everything they need for the Olympics, and nothing that matches our current economic reality.
    
    It DOES match the economic reality of the politically connected contractors who will get the bids, of course.
